Adenosquamous carcinoma of colon

Indian J Gastroenterol. 2001 Nov-Dec;20(6):241-2.

Abstract

Primary adenosquamous carcinoma of the colon is an aggressive entity. We report a 41-year-old man with a combination of adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma of the cecum, treated by right hemicolectomy and ileo-transverse anastomosis. Postoperatively he received adjuvant chemotherapy. However, the tumor recurred at the original site within two months and thereafter the patient was lost to follow up.
